I was perusing the daily news and came across this nugget from the Salt Lake City Tribune. Tribune writer Lya Wodraska spoke with the wife of Urban Meyer, Shelley, about his recent health scares and how it has impacted her.

If you’ll recall, the Florida football coach resigned in December 2009 citing health concerns only to change his mind and take a short leave-of-absence a day later with no full explanation leaving many to scratch their heads, including my colleague Andrea Adelson.

To date, Meyer has not spoken in detail about his mysterious illness. And neither is his wife Shelley, though she did tell Wodraska she cooked more dinners during Urban’s respite and checks in with Urban more to make sure he is staying healthy.

Every day Meyer sends her husband texts, “Did you eat today?”, “Did you work out?”, “Are you getting your rest?”

“It’s part of my plan,” she said. “I’m keeping an eye on him and I’m looking for signs. What happened to Urban was a huge wake-up call that he couldn’t go on like he was.”

But what signs? What exactly happened last December?

If anyone has a right to know, it’s certainly the recruits who are or have committed four years of their career to Urban Meyer. They deserve to know Urban is physically capable of giving the same commitment.

Every day Meyer sends her husband texts, “Did you eat today?”, “Did you recruit a thug today?”, “Did you work out?”, “Are you getting your rest?”, “Did you bail a player out of jail today?”, “Did you lose to Nick Saban today?”, “Did you lie to your family and tell them you wanted to spend more time with them only to change your mind a day later?”, “Do you look like the founder of Papa Johns Pizza today?”, “Did another UFelon player get arrested today?”
